The House Resolution introduced by N. Nelson and others designates July 27, 2025, as "Dick Allen Day" in Pennsylvania to honor the legacy of Richard Anthony Allen, a celebrated baseball player born in Wampum, Pennsylvania. Allen, who excelled in both baseball and basketball during his high school years, was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies after graduation. Despite facing discrimination during his early career, he made a significant impact in Major League Baseball, earning accolades such as the National League Rookie of the Year Award in 1964 and the American League Most Valuable Player Award in 1972. Over his 15-year career, he achieved impressive statistics, including 351 home runs and a .292 batting average.

The resolution also highlights Allen's recent election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, where he will be officially inducted on the designated day. This recognition comes after his passing in December 2020, and it acknowledges his contributions to the sport and his status as a Pennsylvania baseball legend. The resolution aims to commemorate Allen's achievements and legacy within the state, celebrating his impact on baseball history.
